I am a Professor and Chair in Software Engineering at Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia, EU. My research interests are the engineering of multiagent systems and agent-based simulation systems. From 2005 to 2008, I was a Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia. That period resulted in The Art of Agent-Oriented Modeling, a monograph jointly authored with Professor Leon Sterling from Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. Previously, I have worked for eight years as a Research Scientist at the Technical Research Centre of Finland which acts as a mediator between academia and industry. I am currently a Fulbright Fellow at the University of South Carolina, USA, working with Professor Mike Huhns.
